The Queen They Buried

Chapter 412

Ernesto froze for a moment. This was his first time facing Aubree directly. Previously, when the Wilson family talked about her, he hadn’t taken it seriously at all.

He’d just thought Aubree was like a kid who couldn’t get what she wanted, making a fuss just to get noticed. Strictly speaking. this was the first time they were dealing with each other face–to–face.

Aubree’s bluntness made him realize she was even harder to handle than he’d imagined. ‘Does she really not care about anything anymore? he wondered.

Ernesto said, “But no matter how much you try to deny it, the blood running through your veins is always reminding you that you’re both a Wilson and a Diamonde. Like it or not, we’re your family.

“You’re not a kid anymore. What’s the point of cutting ties? The law doesn’t care about that. When your parents get old, you’ll still be legally responsible for them, right?”

Aubree let out a sharp laugh, like she’d just heard the funniest joke. “Let me remind you of something. My legal surname isn’t even Wilson. I was adopted by Patricia from the orphanage. She’s the only family I have.

As for the Diamonde and Wilson families, don’t you already have Carmen? Why? You don’t want to acknowledge her as family anymore?”
